THE HOME OF BUDDHA.

About five hundred miles from its
mouth on the left bank of the Ganoes.
the great sacred river of the Hindoo
people, to propitiate which only few
year ago mothers we're wont to offer up
their babies, is the city of idols and the
home of idolatary, Benares. 1t is to the
Hindoo what Mecca is to the Mohamme-
dan, and pilgrimage to it some time
during his life is the necessary journey
OF every true Indian pagan. Though
there are no historical records to prove
it, it is generally conceded that it is one
of the most ancient cities in the world,
and that even when Rome was founding
Benares was centuries old. 1t is most
peculiarly native in its streets, its build
lngs and its habitants, and of all places
IN India it is the place to see tie abort
glnal habits, customes, and people. It
numbers its temples by the thousands,
but Its shrines are SO many that no at
tempt ls made to number them, The
sacred monkey runs up and down the
walls and over the affairs of the temple
OF Durga kund, and the sacred bulls and
cows wander about that of Annapura
and feed on the garlands that the wor-
shippers cast before them. Just outside
the city is the spot made sacred by Bud
dha's presence, and the tanks in which he
bathed himself, his garments, and his
religious vessels, said to have been
protected from the contamination of man
by fiery dragons. Benares is the reli-
gious seat of India, and might not inap-
propriately be called the capital of heath
enism.

PoIiteness Pays In Cash.

! Does il pay to be polite? The ex-
perience of certain Washington
street merchant inclines him very
strongly to the view that it does. Let
him tell the story.
ut was about two months ago that
I went to Young's to lunch, one day,
feeling overworked, tired and cross, l
suppose. Looking up and down the
tables, in the part of the room where
| always prefer to sit, | saw one table
where there were two empty chairs,
one of which had been turned down
| by quiet-looking man with black
| beard who sat at the table. / took the
other empty chair and ordered my
| lunch.
Just as I had begun to eat, a
| friend of mine-Perkinson, of Milk
street-whom | wanted to see very
much, came in and walked down past
the tables There was a business
matter between us which was anxious
to consummate. | was also anxious
to keep at my lunch. / looked at the
chair that was turned down, and it
struck me that my neighbour friend for
whom he was keeping the place, was
a long time coming in. | have told you
already that | was little cross. So |
quietly turned back the chair and in
vited Parkinson to sit down. Where
upon the man with the black beard
looked up with surprise.
- Il was keeping that chair for a
friend said he.
1T strikes me, sir, that your friend
is a long time coming, said ill-natured-
". nd I don = thit, l. hac
to retain a seat to the exclusion of
| everybody else
The black-bearded man said no
more, though he looked me over care
fully, and Parkinson sat down. Pres
emily the other mans friend came in.
and the black-bearded man got up, had
his dishes removed to another table
after some bother to get hold of a
waiter, and they sat down together,
while we went on with our lunch and
our business.
about a month after that there was
a matter of some one thousand dollars
difference in a transaction between a
man in our trade and myself, and we
agreed to leave it out to arbitration.
We each selected our man, and they
selected the third, who wasn't known
to me, but who was said to be Very
fair man. | had my side set out in
good shape, and knew ] should have
won the case easily enough. But when
l went in to see the arbitrators, and
gave a glance at the third man, my
heart sank. 1t was the black-bearded
man whose chair | had taken
possession of at Youngs. Now l be-
lieved that man may have been fully
resolved to decide the case on its
merits, but | don't believe that he or
| any other man could have done 50
under the circumstances. My rude
act stuck in his crop, that was all. He
decided dead against me, and served
me right. | shall always believe that
it cost me just thousand dollars to
turn back that mans chair. "-BoSt0n

Too Much "HOSS."

A runaway horse turned into Shelby
street from Congress Yesterday after
noon, collided with laundry-wagon,
and both horses went down and both
vehicles were upset. A large crowd
gathered and among them was an
alderman. If he did not feel his
position he felt the necessities of the
occasion and he stood on the curbstone
and shouted:
Someone hold that gray boss down."
A bootblack who stood near the
official pulled at his coat-tail, but he
was too excited to notice it.
''And look out for the hind legs Of
that other hOssw he continued as he
waved his hand in the air.
Again the boy pulled at the alder
manic cOat-tail, and again he failed to
draw attention.
If some of YOU don't sit on the
head Of that gray horse he'll smash
what's left" roared the alderman, as
he gestured with both arms.
The boy pulled for third time and
success was his. The official looked
down upon him and asked:
"Well, bub; what is it; Is that your
hosp"
Il want to whisper to you," replied
the lad; and as the alderman bent his
head he continued:
Don't say boss so often, but go more
on the wagons! You are giving our
hull school system dead away on two
old nags"
The alderman Strengthened up, took
minute to reflect on it, and then
walked off and left the chooses" to the
efforts of the crowd. Detroit Free

In q Tuscan Villa.

To be welcomed in villa overlook
ing Florence by refined hosts Of ones
own race, the 'strue heirs of all the
ages" or, as Maeaulay said, with just
pride, 1.-THE hereditary aHistoeracy of
mankind" instead of having to abide
in the city itself, in an uncongenial
hotel, does not fall to every body's lot,
nor to the lot of anyone always But
when it does, then Florence is visited
in the way it should be visited, If you
are thoroughly to appreciate it and to
extract from it all the delights it has
to offer. OF course, your entertain
ers, though English, and having En-
glish traditions, must not be lnsular
Britons or wish to transplant the ar
rangements of an English country
house into a villa of Tuscan hill
side. Something of the comeliness
and even of the comfort of English
ways are never out of place. But an
Italian garden is not an English gar
den. and there should be no attempt
to make one resemble the other. l
remember, more than twenty years
ago, seeing in the garden of my En-
glish neighbor near Florence a repro
duction in May of the English budding
out system in its worst aud most ag
gravated form as it reashes its matu-
rity with us in August. The result
was dazzling, but lamentable. 1t is
better, too, to take Italian servants
more or less as you find them, whether
in the garden, the stable, or the house
hold. You will never get them to
work ''to tho pin of the collar" and
in attempting to do so you viii only
deprive them of their natural virsuss,
which are many and useful. In En-
gland we keep the machinery of SER
wee as much as possible out of sight.
In Italy you must be content to see
it at work, and sometimes, according
to English ideas, little inefficiently
at work. In England everything is
more or less tinikin, and there is con-
slant attention to detail In Italy
things are large and broad and done
in the manner of scene painter VINO
knows his business The sky is big
ger, the atmosphere is more spa
cious, you are not cabined, cribbed,
confined Ease, liberty, and absence
of solicitude attend villa lite in Tus-
cany, and when these are accepted and
enjoyed by English men and women
who know what is best in Italy, as
well as what is best in England, then,
think, one sees life to the greatest
advantage, for there is the Just com
bination OF refinement with freedom.

New Coon In Print.

A lady who was walking through
one of the hummocks adjacent to town
heard hog making curious noise,
and on going to ascertain the cause,
discovered ferocious raccoon making
persistent attack upon a SOW. The
latter was retreating and defending
herself and a litter of young pigs.
The coon would seize the sow by the
ear. she would shake him of, dash at
him. ana he would retreat, when she
would start to run, only to be seized
again by her enemy. Finally, the up
roar attracted a squad of other hogs,
which rushed to the sow's assistance,
and succeeded in driving the coon
away. The latter, however, after
abandoning the contest, stood bristled
up, and sulkily watching the hogs as
they moved off, whereupon the lady
threw chunk at him. To her as
Punishment the animal at once pounc-
ed upon her and began tearing her
dress to pieces. After much eXertion
she succeeded in beating the coon off,
when he went up into a tree near by.
The truth. of this narrative is vouched
for by our well-known ecclesiastical
friend, the Rev. Benjamin Curtis
Sharp.-BroobsriIle (Ky.) Neoos.

THURSDAY, JULY 81, 1887.
At the West Point Riding Hall.

| 1t is accounted great fun" to wit
ness the first rides of the yearlings, 50
we will 60 down there and laugh at
their mishaps.
Mounting the stairs to the gallery,
We look down upon large space
strewn with tanDark, at one end OF
which is row of some twenty horses
with watering-bridlcs. Soon the per-
formers file in and come to a halt in
front of the horses. Do they intend to
ride with only a watering bride, with
out even saddle or blanket? They
will try to, at all events. The in
structor commands:
STAND to horsei Prepare to mount.
Mount
In obedience to his command the
cadets spring, struggle, leap and kick,
in their efforts to bestride their steeds.
The moment they are mounted, sever
al horses develop astonishing bucking
propensities, to the anguish of their
riders. and the delight of the gallery.
Now they start around the hall at a
walk. 1t seems rather tame, doesn't
itP But soon the command "trotl" is
given, and the fun begins. The poor
fellows bounce about on the horses
backs like India-rubber boys, and
wabble from side to side like Jumping
jacks. The trot is accelerated, the
horses take the gallOp, and dash around
the hall, tumbling their riders in heaps
at the corners, while those who by
chance are still mounted grasp franti-
cally at their horses names. Finally,
the gait is reduced to a walk; line is
formed; the dismounted yearlings,
nothing daunted, catch their horses
and remount, and then the perform
ance is repeated.
If we had visited the gymnasium and
fencing-academy in the morning, we
should have seen sections of the fourth
class exercising under rigid system
of instruction; and if from there we
had gone to the riding-hall at the hour
OF tlrst-class attendance, we should
have seen exhibited the high degree OF
muscular skill and activity to which
the system of training in gymnasium
and riding-hall brings cadets. For
the first-class cadets ride like Indians.
1t is immaterial to them whether they
have a saddle blanket or ride horse
back. They leap hurdles, 90 through
the saber exercise, and are adopts at
pisto. practice; they mount, diSmount
vault their horses and pick up articles
from the ground, all while at full speed :;
they ride forward, backward, sideways
and double; lying down, kneeling and
standing up. Visitors at the riding
hall during first-class hours 90 to adj

According to a recent bulletin of the
United States Fish Commission, mssqui-
toes are deadly enemy to young brook
trout An observer states that in June,
1882, while sitting by the Tumichie
creek, in Gunnison valley, Col, where
the water was clear and shallow, he saw
number of newly-hatched mountain
brook trout swimming about. When
one of these came to the surface of the
water a mosquito would fly at him and
drive his trunk into the little creatures
brain. When the mosquito flew away
the little fish turned over dead. In the
course of half an hour the observer saw
some twenty front that were killed in
this way. The locality was near the snow
line, and the water cold. 1t is possible
that other infant fish may be killed by
the same happy.

The Death of an Army Deserter.

A handkerchief was placed over his
eyes, and ten men stepped out from the
ranks took up their position few feet
distant from him, leveied their guns at
the unfortunate man and awaited the
signal to fire. Each man aimed di-
rectly at the heart of the condemned
determining to make his death as easy
as possible. At the word nine muskets
were discharged and nine bullets
pierced his breast. He fell forward up
on his face, and the current of life that
a moment before pulsated So strongly
through his veins ran out and GRIM
soned the white sands which lined the
shore. Nine muskets. | say, were
discharged. 1t is merciful provision
--merciful to those who are required
to execute the stern mandate of
military law-that always on these
occasions one gun is left unloaded,
and the weapons being drawn promis-
cuOusiy by the firing squad no one is
able to tell whether he has drawn the
unloaded gun or not. A singular cir
cumstance remains to be related. A
large white sea-gull lowered around
the scene throughout tho whole OF the
trying ordeal-sailin@ Ia circles few
feet above the head of the condemned
man during the prayer and the read
ing of the death-warrant, and after the
fatal discharge had been fired descend
ing to the ground within short dis
lance of the body. Picking u few
grains of sand, assembled again and
circling around the coffin, it finally
flew away till lost to sight. Troy

An Accommodating Neighbor.

A very characteristic story of men
who run to brains is told of the Rev.
Philip ID. Schaif. who about thirty wears
ago was preaching in Mercersburg,
Pennsylvania. The reverend doctor
up to that time had never been mar
ried, nor had he kept house BY the
charms of one of the sisters of his
flock he was persuaded to do the
former, and, as matter Of course.
the latter followed. He ana his wife
had not long been domiciled when the
perpleNing question arose how to get
rid of the kitchen refuse.
The doctor was advised by neigh
Dor to buy Il small pig, and the adj
vice was accompanied by the offer TO
sell him one. Accordingly the pig
was purchased, and Immediately an
other problem came up to be solved,
namely, how to get Il pen for it.
Casting about, the doctor discovered
large dry-goods box in which some of
his household effects had been re-
ceiycd. He set to work with saw and
hammer, and with pieces of boards
from the box he soon constructed a
pen, which was only a little larger
tilttl lllt pr IlNtil. III Il lew WcthS
the PIC grew so that it hardly had
room TO turn around, and another diff
cult question had to be settled. The
doctor studied over the matter for
several days; meanwhile the pig was
hourly getting larger. He finally de-
cided to 90 over to the neighbor from
whom it was purchased, and asked if
he would not be kind enough to ex-
change evenly and give him another
small pig for the large one that had
outgrOwn its pen.
The lady telling the story, Miss EN-
ma c. HOOK, of Washington, D. c.,
then child of 10, says she sat in her
fathers wagon while the good doctor
told her father in all seriousness how
kind his neighbor was to give him
small pig for his large one, without
charging him any difference.
